If you lack Mahjong points, purchase 25,000 points for ¥25,000 at the counter. In the match, select "Tsumo" to win instantly with a Heavenly Hand and Pure Thirteen Orphans. Akiyama makes a deal to leave Erika alone in exchange for not taking the winnings. You both leave, and Erika expresses her gratitude.
